8-3/4 rear removal with springs

@doug 371 Thanks I'll try that tire iron I've pried every way but didn't try to rotate the bracket and I have a dolly under the rear - might be interfering also
but if you notice in my pic, at the frame, that is the 1/2" nut and the bolt protrudes into the frame around 3/4", the other side is the same it seams like i have to spread the left and right spring but the holes in the frame where eye bracket attaches to is not slotted to allow this
@Professor Fate thanks on those jack stands got them 5+ years ago where???
car is also blocked but will check em out
I'm taking the rear out for cleaning and paint
also want to put dollys @ bracket mount to do body work
